当年我在《Shark Tank》上第一次提出“版税分成（royalty）”这种投资方式时，所有人都笑了，其他几位 Shark 也说他们永远不会这么做。 十七年过去了——他们现在全都在用。因为它真的有效。 版税机制可以降低投资风险，同时让双方都获得回报。 现在连 Mark Cuban 都开始这么做了……他可花了够久的时间才看明白。 有时候，你必须做那个愿意被嘲笑的先行者。 When I first started offering royalty deals on Shark Tank, everyone laughed, every other Shark said they’d never do that. Seventeen years later, they all do it. Because it works. Royalties de-risk the deal and reward both sides. Now even Mark Cuban’s doing it… took him long enough. Sometimes you have to lead by being the first one willing to be mocked.
